About These Units
Fathom (fathom)
A fathom is a nautical unit equal to 6 feet or 1.8288 meters. Fathoms traditionally measure water depth and anchor chain length. The term comes from Old English "fæðm" meaning outstretched arms. Depth soundings were historically reported in fathoms.
Nanometer (nm)
A nanometer (nm) is a metric unit equal to one billionth of a meter or 0.001 micrometers. Nanometers measure visible light wavelengths (400-700 nm), DNA width (2 nm), computer chip transistors, and molecular structures. Essential in nanotechnology and semiconductor manufacturing.
